Most TV apps seem to use the ‘enter this code in a web browser’ auth model which gets around that limitation and allows you to use your browser’s password manager support.
- zamadatix 3y agoYep, or just "scan this QR code on your phone" and auth becomes the same as anything else on your phone.
- bdcravens 3y agoIt's becoming common enough, but I've set up enough smart TVs in the past 2 years to realize it's not universal.
- dylan604 3y agoThe Hulu app on my ATV4k refuses to activate the keyboard input on my other devices like the other apps on my ATV do. I know this because it recently started asking me to re-login for whatever reason, and I have been trying to get my password manager password into the app without using the dumb remote. It just will not do it. Long winded way of saying that other devices do it as well
- sanitycheck 3y agoFunnily enough, Roku now explicitly disallows this and will reject any paid app on their platform that tries to use it. (Although Netflix, Amazon, etc can do what they like as usual.)
